Hey everyone today is the the day of the challenge and i am supposed to pick my favorite animal and as usual i won't be able to pick just one lol, but first i wanted to tell you about the book that i am reading and the T.V Show that i am watching.

The book is Icing On the lake by Catherine Clark

i just started reading the book so i can't yet say if i like it or not, i just wanted to tell you guys which book i was reading right now, when i finish it i will do a review of the book :).
the book -
New year's resolutions, by Kirsten(with help From Crystal,Jones and Emma)
1. survive the month at my sister's house. survive my 3 year old nephew and crazy sister.
2. learn to ice skate better. or not to fall down. or just get a cuter skating outfit.
3.FIND HOCKEY-PLAYING, WINTER-LOVING HOTTIE. AND INVITE HIM TO THE WEEKEND CABIN TRIP (AKA ''GROUNDHOG GETAWAY'') WITH EVERYONE.
that is what is written on the back of the book i found this on the site i bought the book and it writes As Kirsten spends winter break avoiding her best friends' match making attempts, she is distracted by the new guy who shows up to shovel the driveway after yet another snowstorm.

The T.V Show is Dead Like Me.

i am finishing season 1 on this T.V Show and i love it <3 it's a American-Canadian comedy-drama series.

Meet Georgia Lass (who prefers to be called George). She is a young Seattle college dropout who is unhappy with life. She is always at odds with her mom, Joy. One day coming back from her temp job as a filing clerk, she is hit by the toliet seat of the re-entering Space Station Mir. Finding out she is now dead, she is recruited to become a grim reaper. As in life, she is a pain in the butt in death. She does not like the details of her job, and is always at loggerheads with her boss Rube. Her fellow grim reapers don't really take much of a liking to her either. She also learns grim reapers don't even get a free ride in death, as they must hold down regular jobs along with their death duties.

George/Georgia
The show's protagonist, an 18 year old college dropout. In addition to being a grim reaper she has a day job at Happy Time Temporary Services, under the assumed name "Millie Hagen". She was killed on June 27, 2003 when a toilet seat from the de-orbiting Mir space station fell on her. Because of this, she is known among the Reapers as "Toilet Seat Girl", a fact which earns her instant recognition/respect for dying in such a bizarre way.

Rube
The head of the group of Reapers. He is responsible for passing out reaping assignments, nearly always on yellow post-it notes. He becomes a father figure for George (whom he calls "Peanut") in her grim-reaping afterlife, and had a daughter named Rose ("Rosie"), whom he had also called "Peanut". The manner of his death has yet to be revealed.

Mason
A British drug addict, alcoholic and thief, but a likable person. He acts as an "older brother" figure to George, and is attracted to Daisy. He is originally from London, UK, and he died in 1966 by drilling a hole in his head to achieve the permanent high.

Roxy
A strong-willed, sassy, independent woman. Her day job is initially as a meter maid, but she later becomes a police officer. She was strangled to death in 1982 by a jealous roommate with leg warmers, which Roxy had invented.

Betty
A confident, well-adjusted Reaper in the first five episodes. She keeps Polaroids of each of the souls she reaped in department store shopping bags, organized by personality type. George begins to bond with her early in the first season, but she "hitches a ride" into the afterlife with one of the souls George had reaped and is never seen again. She died in 1927 while cliff-diving with her fiancé.

Daisy
A spoiled actress who often tells stories about her (alleged) sexual escapades with classic film stars. She died on December 13, 1938 ofasphyxiation/smoke inhalation in Marietta, Georgia, though she originally claimed this occurred on the set of Gone with the Wind.

i actually like Betty more than Daisy i don't like Daisy that much.

Day 7 - Your Favorite Animal

i have more than one favorite animal ( i can never just choose one thing haha) ( btw dogs are my nr 1 favorite animal, i wanted to put a picture of my dog's but i don't have a good picture of them together, but i did put few pictures of them in this blog before )

Hi today is the 6th day of the challenge and it's also Monday and i am supposed to do the top 10 favorites on Mondays but i decided to put that off until i'm finished with this challenge, i really don't want to do them both at the same time.

okay so i have 3 favorite perfumes ( btw i am terrible at explaining how perfumes smell like and i really don't know how to do it so i'm just going to show which perfume's are my favorite :)

1.Lolita Lempicka perfume

my sister used to own this perfume and i used to use it all the time i just loved it so much but it wasn't available in Iceland , i actually found it here in Norway but it costs too much so i am going to try to find out if they sell this perfume like in Croatia or Germany so i can buy it there rather than here.

2.Moschino Hippy Fizz

this is the one that i use now i love it! my dad bought me this perfume when i was in Serbia on summer vacation with him but i used it up so i recently bought one when i was in Croatia and i love it <3 ( i actually only use it in the summer)

3. Miss Dior Chérie

my sister also used to own this one when i was younger and i used it all the time i have the body lotion of this perfume i bought it when i was in France. but i heard that they changed the scent of this perfume recently so i'm not sure if the new scent is good or not so i will just say that the old version is the one i love)

Hi today i am just going to do the challenge i'm not going to talk about anything else

Day 05 — Your favorite thing to do

i have many favorite things to do! :)

shopping - because i love to shop and i love getting new things

reading - reading is one of my most favorite things to do i love reading a good book

hanging out with friends - i love being with my friends and hanging out with them unfortunately i can't now because i just moved to Norway and they are in Iceland, i haven't met anyone here so i don't have anyone to hang out with yet but i'm starting school next semester so i hope i meet someone fun/nice/drama less.

watching movies/t.v shows/variety shows- <3 but i love watching t.v shows and variety shows more than movies because they last longer.

playing with my dogs -love my dogs <3

reading magazines - my favorites are Glamour,Cosmopolitan,Elle Vogue Girl, i think that there are more but i forget because here in Norway there aren't that many selections of magazines( they have vogue here but they don't have vogue girl which sucks T.T)

trying on different makeup looks - i love trying on different makeup looks and taking pictures with my friend ( if she let's me post the pictures of us here i will lol)

listening to music - my third favorite thing to do right after reading and watching t.v shows <3

eating - i love eating i eat all the time and i mean it in the middle of the night i once made bacon and eggs lol, i know it's not good for you to eat after 8 or i don't remember what time it was, but i can't help it i just love to eat.

traveling - i LOVE to travel i love going to different countries!, so far i have been to Croatia,Iceland,Serbia,Germany,Sweden,Austria,Italy,France,Turkey and Denmark so far,my aunts and uncles live in France and i really want to go back!, also this summer we are going to Croatia again and we will probably go to Italy for like one day on my mom's birthday.

Hi everyone i was reading this article in the British Glamour it's ''We can make you rich'' there was one part that caught my eyes it was 2. So,How do i save ? Slash your Petrol bill ''Petrol prices are soaring - but keeping tyres pumped up, decluttering your car and switching off the air con can knock 10% off the rate that fuel burns. i really didn't know about the if you turn off your air coditioner that it will knock 10% off the rate that fuel burns.

when i drive my car i have everything on even if i don't need it, plus where i work i don't get a a lot of money and i really don't want to spend it on gas so i'm going to try to walk/bike/rollerblade wherever i have to go ( my school and the store are close to my home and before i always drove there but now i'm only going to drive the car if i'm really late to school or if i am going somewhere far) and if it's really hot in the car i will just open the window or if it's really cold bring a jacket with me.

also i was reading this interview in the cosmopolitan (uk edition) with Lea Michele it's this part that caught my attention the most - Then, in a very Rachel-like way, she shudders while thinking about the pressures on young people today. '' I never did drugs. Acting always came first. I was lucky because i really believed in who i was.'' She needed that self-confidence when it seemed like every girl at school was getting a nose job. ''Of course i thought about it,'' says Lea, whose proud defined nose has become a winning trait... and a sign of inner and outer beauty. '' I'm sooo thankful that i didn't''.- interview over. ever since i was little i wanted to get a nose job ( ever since i knew about nose jobs lol) because i really don't like my nose and before i always was thinking when i get older and get a good job that pays a lot of money i will get a nose job but when i was watching Glee and saw how Rachel ( Lea's character on glee ) didn't want to get a nose job ( well except for in that one episode but she didn't end up doing it). I am not really good at explaining things i'm really sorry, what i am trying to say is that she has inspired me to not get a nose job even though i really really hate my nose, i really like the fact that even thought everyone was doing it she decided not to and i am going to do the same :). when i first started watching glee her character annoyed me a lot but at the end i ended up really liking her ( not just because of the nose thing, it's because she won't let anything stop her from getting what she wants even if it means that nobody likes her ( and i'm talking about her character on the show i'm not talking about people not liking her in real life lol)).

and also in her interview there was this cozmo quiz and there is this one part that i thought was really cute and it's - The craziest thing I've done for love is... and she answered fly across the country to see them for less than 24 hours.
the magazines that these articles are in are -

i really like the dress and the belt that Nicole is wearing on this cover <3

and i also love this top and skirt that Lea is wearing <3

Day 04 — Your favorite foundation

i don't really have a favorite foundation i haven't tried that many, but i do like these two-

Alverde naturkosmetikk creme makeup 03 Beige-Rose

i bought it when i was in croatia but i didn't use it there because in the summer it is really hot in Croatia and i HATE wearing foundation in the summer i absolutely hate it i never wear it during summer or when it's really hot outside, i bought it for when i would return to Iceland ( this was when i still lived in Iceland) and i used it there and i loved it ( i'm not sure how to explain it because it has been so long since I've worn it but when i do start using it again i will do a review.

-L'oreal true match

i lost my bottle so i had to find a picture on Google so i am not sure NR what my foundation is.
I actually only used it twice because i accidentally bought a color that was darker than my skin -.-( but once my sister had this same foundation and i used it and really liked it) i was in such a hurry at the airport in Iceland that i didn't even try it out that much but i really do really like it and when i come back to Norway from my vacation i Croatia this summer i will use it again.

Hello everyone :) i have a NOTD and I'm going to try to do the 30 Day Challenge.
The nail polish that i am wearing is the one that i bought yesterday it's from a Swedish brand named Depend, it has no name it does however have a number - it's 246 it's like a minty blue color.(i have no nail polish remover right now i forgot to buy one so i couldn't take off the nail polish that is on the skin around the nail :/ , and if you are wondering how i took off my previous nail polish, i just used a clear nail polish over it waited 3-4 seconds and rubbed it off with a tissue ( it doesn't go off on first try but after a few times it does go off, and some nail polishes are easier to take off than others))

Day 1 - your favorite eyeliner -

i have 2 actually and it's the new Maybelline Gel liner

And the L'oreal Paris Contour Khol 131 jet black ( i have used this eyeliner so many times that it has little left if you see the lettering on the eyeliner mine only writes Kohl because I've used it so many times

Hi i have had these two lip glosses for a while now and i really wanted to do a review on them. they are MNY(Maybelline New York) lip gloss ( it doesn't say the name of the color or the number but it is probably because it was a limited edition gloss), and the second one is Pierre René gloss Sweet Berry ( now i bought this lip gloss a year ago and the number thing is not there anymore so i can't say the name or number) i think that u can only buy these lip glosses in Europe I'm not sure

The Pierre René gloss and the MNY gloss

Swatches ( sorry that it's not the best quality i need a better camera :/ )
No Flash

The MNY gloss,The Pierre René gloss , and i mixed them together ( i actually like this color)

-With Flash ( very blurry I'm sorry)

- Tried to take a picture on my PC camera

but here the row is mixed, Pierre René and MNY gloss

Here i am wearing the MNY lip gloss it's actually the darkest lip gloss that i have ( i bought it because i wanted a dark/bright lip gloss and i really liked this one on me but i don't wear it all the time

i love both of the lip glosses but there are a few dislikes like with the Pierre René lip gloss if you put it on the side a little lip gloss comes out like in this picture

i don't know if it's just mine or if all the lipglosses from this brand are like this, if i do buy a lipgloss from this brand again i will then do an updated review or just tell you if the same thing happens. i really love the smell of this lip gloss and i really like it on my lips, i would maybe buy it again but i wouldn't put it in my makeup bag or purse.
The MNY one is little bit sticky but not too much, if it weren't a Limited Edition Gloss i would maybe buy it again

I have bought the Pierre René eye shadows and i really love them i would do a review on them some other time but from the MNY i have only tried this lip gloss I'm going to try to buy more products from this brand

-The very small haul

i bought a Pierre René eyeshadow and a Depend nailpolish

The eyeshadow is like this it's a matte brown, there is no name just a number and its no 59 ( i think this is from the new collection or something)

the top thing is a sponge applicator also which i think is really cool because i can bring this with me and i don't need a brush because it already has a sponge applicator

a swatch i really love it i have been wearing it all day, they have also these metallic colors and they are really beautiful i love the green and blue color but i would never buy it because i would never be able to wear it but i really want to take a picture of it and show you guys i will try to do that next time i go.

and this is the nail polish from depend ( Swedish brand) its like minty blue or something like that and it's no 246 ( its one of the new nail polishes)
